Fox News Corrects Story Claiming Roy Moore Accuser ‘Forged’ Candidate’s
A handwriting expert has verified that the woman’s yearbook signature belongs to Senate candidate Moore, according to Gloria Allred.

.......................In a Friday press conference, Allred said Nelson had noted beneath the inscription when and where she recalled Moore writing it. Nelson also confirmed she had made the notes during an interview with ABC’s Tom Llamas.
“Beverly, he signed your yearbook,” Llamas stated.
“He did sign it,” Nelson affirmed.
“And you made some notes underneath,” he continued.
“Yes,” she said.
In response, Fox News ran a headline Friday stating: “Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama Senate candidate,” according to the Internet Archive, which preserves websites. The Fox headline echoed alt-right websites The Gateway Pundit and Breitbart, which ran with “Gloria Allred Accuser **ADMITS** She Tampered With Roy Moore’s Yearbook ‘Signature’” and “Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook,” respectively................................................

NOT!
.......Kick him out!
Trump treats all "news" organizations equally in his campaign for journalistic integrity.
One of the women who accused Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual misconduct when she was a teenager has admitted to forging a portion of the high school yearbook inscription used as proof in her accusations.
Beverly Young Nelson, the ex-waitress who alleged the Alabama politician groped her when she was just 16 years old, told ABC News on Friday that she added both the date and place to the then-30-something Moore's inscription.
Her notes read "12-22-77" and "Olde Hickory House," which was the restaurant Nelson reportedly worked at and where she said the GOP Senate candidate once frequented.
So in the headline, she "admits", and in the first sentence of the story she "has admitted to forging a portion of the high school yearbook inscription used as proof in her accusations."
And worse yet, the AOL story doesn't have a picture of the inscription, which clearly shows the added part is in completely different handwriting (print instead of cursive, for one thing), so it's not like it's an attempt to deceive (forge).
Not to mention that part of her "admitting" is that she said she added it when she was 16, so I doubt that she was "forging" the date and place in anticipation of screwing up his Senate run 40 years later.
Here is a picture of the inscription from NPR News
